Hi guys

Following in the footsteps of the DC-10 comes this - the new Zvezda 747-800 done in an Air New Zealand What-If scheme
I was going to paint this in the current black and white scheme but decided to change it somewhat to make it more colourful
Decals are from Old Model Decals (NZ) - a mix of 777 and 747-400 and cockpit and cabin windows from Authentic Airliners

























I am currently building a 777 and will paint it int he same scheme I think\

Thanks for looking

That is beautiful work! :bow:

Second that, looks awesome!  :wub:

BTW: Is the green/black fuselage/tail decoration with the fern leaf a decal or painted?
The different window designs are pretty, too, this should look awesome in a beauty pic with a runway setting!  :rolleyes:

thanks guys

Dizzy -the fern is a decal - part of a 777 decal set from Old Model Decals. The tail is actually blue, although it hasn't really shown that well in the photos - despite taking them in daylight.  :-\

If you plonked that on the Airliner SIG stand at Telford no-one would blink an eyelid, they'd all assume it was real.  :thumbsup: :bow:
Kit's Rule 1 ) Any aircraft can be improved by fitting longer wings, and/or a longer fuselage
Kit's Rule 2) The backstory can always be changed to suit the model

...and I'm not a closeted 'Take That' fan, I'm a REAL fan! :)

Thanks very much guys. I'm happy with how it came out. It's big though! Had to do a major reshuffle of the ol display shelf in the office to accommodate it and the up coming 777. I'll post some pics of that one once it's done
